🌱 How to Plant and Care Instructions

1. Unboxing: Gently unpack the sapling. Let it rest in a bright, shaded spot for 1–2 days before repotting to reduce transplant shock.
2. Pot Selection: Use a 6–8 inch pot with good drainage holes. Arabian Jasmine loves room to grow — don’t use too small a pot.
3. Soil: Use a rich, well-draining potting mix. A blend of garden soil + compost + cocopeat (1:1:1) is ideal. Slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 6–7) is preferred.
4. Planting: Place the sapling in the center of the pot. Fill with soil, gently firm around the base. Water thoroughly after planting.
5. Sunlight: Needs 4–6 hours of direct sunlight daily for best flowering. A south or west-facing balcony or windowsill is ideal. More sun = more blooms!
6. Watering: Water every 2–3 days in summer and once every 4–5 days in winter. Keep soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. Mogra dislikes both drought and soggy roots.
7. Fertilizing: Feed with a phosphorus-rich fertilizer (like DAP or bone meal) once a month to encourage abundant flowering. You can also use banana peel compost tea for a natural bloom booster.
8. Pruning: Prune lightly after each flowering flush to encourage new growth and more blooms. Remove dead flowers (deadheading) regularly to stimulate continuous blooming.
9. Humidity: Mist the leaves occasionally during dry summers. Avoid wetting flowers as it can cause browning.
10. Temperature: Thrives between 20°C–35°C. Loves India’s warm climate! Protect from frost and temperatures below 10°C.
11. Repotting: Repot every 1–2 years in spring before the flowering season begins.
